"Yay!" said my kids. Candy. Candy. Candy. We surprised them with a detour to the outlet store. When we walked in they were stunned with the piles of candy and chocolate fountain coming down from the ceiling. My husband liked that the bulk candy is behind the counter, to keep the "sampling" to a minimum. Be sure to find the stacks of gummies seconds that are seriously discounted.

The Chocolate Fountain is underwhelming. It was off when we got there, but it was turned on shortly after. Looked practically the same. Right off the road, so worth a stop with the kiddos if you want to check out the candy selection. They will let you sample before you buy something -- just ask!
[Don Eby, 11/27/2015]The pure smell of deliciousness is enough to make a stop. However, the fountain was not on or not working!

There is a giant chocolate fountain inside Albanese Candy Outlet Store in Merrillville, Indiana. This place has any kind of candy you can think of. They really specialize in gummies. It's like a mini Willy Wonka's. They also offer tours.
